Subpoenas for the production of documentary evidence shall be obtained in accordance with Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes. A copy of any subpoena that commands production of documents and things or inspection of premises before trial shall be served on each party as provided in 12 O.S., Section 2004.1(B).
B. No depositions, interrogatories, interrogatory answers, requests for production of documents and things, requests for admissions, or responses thereto, shall be filed with the Court, except as ordered by the assigned judge. Discovery disputes may be resolved by filing a Form 13 requesting a prehearing conference.
C. The parties shall advise opposing parties of the desire to take depositions of all persons, excluding physicians, within twenty (20) days after a Form 9 or Form 10 has been timely filed. Parties who fail to complete depositions in a timely manner will be deemed to have waived their right to take a deposition, unless such failure is excused by the Court for good cause shown.
